If we does then captain toad is more likely to be playable. I doubt that we will since they probably want to move on to new projects.

If Ps4 forecast 3 million sales in a year then it would make commercial sense to do so.
Even MS were talking about games coming to Windows again, it is strange times we live in and its hard to read what is happening in the home console market.
Who knows.

Wonder if they will ever hit a 3ds forecast. They certainly aren't selling 7.6 this year
But that's just it. They do. It's just the same old bollocks all the time.I wouldn't waste my time with them, even if I had it.Yeah but I don't have much work on my plate right now so I have plenty of time to waste
I just wish people would understand the actual situation

Poor results : Nintendo should go third party

I dunno, if they had posted another loss, then this thread would have hit 1000 posts by now
When first party games struggle to oversell MK8 it doesn't matter how many consoles are sold.
In the end the number of consoles is irrelevant. You are just limiting your market according to the logic. Just imagine how much more can Gran Turismo sell if it will launch on all platforms!
Hundred of millions of copies.

at least there's a Splatoon Direct today!

I don't agree with this, it would stupid, handhelds and consoles are 2 totally different markets. they could make a killing on ps4/XB1, there franchises are pretty weak on consoles at the moment, the only great sellers are mario kart, and smash. they would expand there user base, and ensure the franchises have a much longer life.

Oh boy, this thread was just missing ninjablade...
Likely in June after E3 if it's like previous years.
Can't see that happening at E3, since it's all about global news here. Small direct or news a month later, sure.

can you prove this? I need some historical examples
I know, right? Haha, it's like clockwork at this point.

Discussing the potential positives or negatives of Nintendo releasing software on platforms they don't control is not in itself tantamount to portbegging, particularly considering they recently announced an arrangement towards developing and releasing software on platforms they don't control.
Also, as a general note, if you're thinking of posting stupid doomed memes or drive-bys as your sole contribution to this thread discussion. Don't.

Honestly there needs to be a shit thread for port begging Nintendo games to other consoles.
Edit: I at least wish the discussion about it nintendo on other platforms would go better

other then smash and mario kart, what nintendo games really sold great, mario 3d world had a pretty weak launch, most of its sells are coming from being bundled.
Great to see them back on track financially.
About their handheld business, since 3DS is in its last "quarter" in its lifecycle and selling accordingly, it will be interesting to see how the beaten and obsolete competition in the dedicated handheld business possibly leading to slightly less direct competition, will affect next gens initial sales of their next handheld.

Oh really? Thought it was like last year where there wasn't any until June.
The question was about proving they would sell more on PS4/X1. Like why did Rayman Legends and Sonic All Stars Racing sold more on WiiU than on PS4/X1?
is this your excuse for every Bundled Game? This would apply to every Sony and MS first Party Game too...
Your Point is not legit, pls try harder
There's that, too

Now add all the games that you consider bundled. I think Wii U has almost outsold PS4 by your logic.
Tbf Nintendo does do third party and are doing third party releases.
Should Nintendo release Mario Kart on PS4? No. But I think they should look at PC carefully as a Nintendo Digital Platform could compete very well and they still get 100% of the revenue and can sell other products on top of that.
Certainly makes sense in a loss making world of hardware.

This is a company that is heavily diversifying from their core business
+ QOL
+ Amiibo toys
+ Mobile partnership
+ Universal studio theme park
What is next, its intriguing. Maybe they will go Insurance / commercial like Sony, or partner with some other company in a different field ?
Can see a world where everyone has a digital store front (and no I am not a PC gamer, but it is one possible future that cannot be ignored and each publisher gets 100 % of the slice)

i don't think you can compare those games, they bombed on every platform, and sonic racing never came out on ps4/XB1. mario, metroid or zelda with amazing graphics and a high metracritic would do great on ps4/xb1.
could you at least prove this?

I don't think they should. Takes away the only reason for people to buy their platforms. If Nintendo starts making ports then they need to go 3rd party.
The mobile games were clarified to be "not ports" which is why that works.

i'm only comparing nintendo big sellers on wiiu, which is like 3 games, mario 3d world only did 215k in it's first npd, not good at all for one of the biggest gaming franchises.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Really pleased Nintendo are back in the black. It has been a long time coming.
At list you could read the info you are commenting about. Please check LTD SM3DW sales and then come back to this thread.

yea those games sold like shit on all platforms, do we have the latest numbers for rayman legends on all platforms.

Thanks for the precision
Right now, I can't see a switch/parallel store on PC making sense, apart from Virtual Console games. And then again, they would nearly sell no games at their current prices.

yes i checked the ltd but the game is ettting most of it's sales by being bundled just like uncharted 1 did.

The future is games as a service, a la Netflix, available across multiple screens, with dedicated devices as the niche products for service delivery for the niche that deems the value worth the added cost.

If you see Nintendos core business as an electronics manufacturer, yes.
If you see Nintendos core business as a toys and games company, no.
QoL can be seen as diversifying either way. From what we know about it, it will be some kind of Nintendofied version of the resmed S+

No one's saying discussion on the matter is itself is inherently portbegging. But the continued disruptive behavior of a certain few in every thread, regardless of how topical, arguably falls in line with the spirit of why portbegging is a banned GAF topic.
I'd also say Nintendo's DeNA deal opening the door to this sort of discussion falls short of justification for arguing Nintendo make games on PlayStations and Xboxes. Investors have been beating the mobile drum for years now without a peep regarding other consoles, Iwata's spoken at length about the mobile industry but rarely a word for Sony or MS, Nintendo even repositioning their future device strategy around a mobile OS model and possibly backdooring out of traditional consoles entirely (as is the rest of Japan). These two things really aren't at all alike in terms consumer marketplace, direct competition, roi potential, future outlook or investor significance so it's difficult see anything but a superficial reasoning for directly linking them this way.
the day this comes to fruition is the day I find a new hobby
thankfully I don't foresee it being an all-or-nothing scenario

I can guarantee you that QoL is going to be a system designed around the gamification of fitness and health.

Should there be a new thread about Iwata's message to investors?
Thought that it was pretty interesting:
